Music Spotlight: Temperance

Temperance is an Italian modern melodic/symphonic metal band. They have three vocalists (female, male, male growls) and a rather active sound, so if you're a fan of Amaranthe, they're worth checking out! They also just put out a new album, Diamanti. Their sound has evolved, but the core has been pretty consistent throughout the years.

My demons can't sleep, they're wide awake
And this is not the perfect day
My demons can't sleep and I can feel
That there's no rest or peace for me
I want them to go but I know
That's impossible
I want them to sleep but they say
They won't fade away

(From Viridian. Other favorites from this album include Mission Impossible and I Am the Fire.)

Watch on YouTube

Jupiter and moons show me the way
Following my dream of Babylon
Jupiter and moons show me my fate
Will the sun arise?
Jupiter and moons let me escape
From this world of pain, I'll die alone!
Jupiter and moons show me the way
Back to paradise, back to paradise!

(From Of Jupiter and Moons. Other favorites from this album include We Are Free and Daruma's Eyes.)
